Meet Bridgette ๐Ÿ’š

Hi! Iโ€™m Bridgette โ€” the founder of Sensory Social Club, autism mom, wife, homeschool mom, psychology student, and the person usually behind the posts, events, emailsโ€ฆ and about 47 open tabs at any given time. ๐Ÿ˜‚

SSC started because I wanted something I felt like our own family was missing: a place where autistic kids could just be themselves and parents didnโ€™t have to explain, apologize, or worry about whether their child โ€œfit in.โ€

What started as wanting to get a few families together has turned into playdates, events, parent support, resources, family assistance, advocacy, and a whole community Iโ€™m incredibly excited to keep building.

I definitely donโ€™t have everything figured out. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m learning as I go, listening to families, dreaming probably a little too big, and trying to create the things I wish existed when we first entered the autism world.

My biggest goal with SSC is pretty simple:

Help autistic kids find their people โ€” and help their families find theirs, too. ๐Ÿ’š

So hi ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m Bridgette. Iโ€™m really glad youโ€™re here.

โ€” Founder, Sensory Social Club โ™ก
